fix(codec): the waveform body is a record chain, not a tag stream
Supersedes the segment-header model entirely, including the fixes made earlier today. Found via multi-agent structural analysis of the 25 files that stalled the walker, then verified independently. Records are self-delimiting: off+2 is a uint16 BE length, next_record = off + 2 + len, and the chain ends on a record whose chan_id is 0x06. off+8 carries a 3-valued mode enum: 02 00 14-byte header, 2 anchors, then CUMULATIVE delta blocks 01 00 10-byte header, no anchors, blocks are ABSOLUTE values 00 03 10-byte header, NO TAGS AT ALL - raw 12-bit packed absolute `40 NN` is an ordinary int16 BE data block (2*NN + 2), never a header. Reading it as a 2*NN + 16 header is what made walks drift — the "variable-prefix segment descriptors" reported earlier today were not a format feature, just walker drift of exactly 4 - (old_stop - true_record_start), on all 25 affected files. Measured on the production snapshot: all four channels equal length 156/1388 -> 1388/1388 ASCII sample-count exact 72/75 -> 75/75 ASCII fully exact 70/75 -> 73/75 device PPV waveform (live) 1288/1306 -> 1306/1306 (mean err 0.00000) device PPV histogram (live) 4434/4459 -> 4458/4459 Also eliminates the walker-over-read class: 24 of those 35 files were histograms that read_blastware_file fed to the waveform codec first; the old walker accepted them and returned garbage (one yielded 98,923 "intervals"), while the record-chain decoder returns None so they fall through to histogram_codec. 00 03 records are DECODED, not skipped. Skipping them silently shifts the time base of everything after them on that channel — BE9558/ K558LOF2.820W had MicL displaced by exactly 512 samples with nothing marking the gap. Footer detection now prefers the 0e 08 candidate whose body yields a chain terminating on 0x06; the signature can occur inside a sample stream. Blast radius 1 file of 1388. The superseded model survives as decode_waveform_legacy, pinned by micromate/idf_file.py: its Thor IDFW body-offset search trial-decodes candidates and keeps whichever yields the most samples, so the new decoder returning None where the old returned garbage changes that heuristic's winner. Deferred until that search uses the record chain. Tests: 253 passed (+11), failure list unchanged from baseline. The 9 tests pinning the superseded model are retargeted at decode_waveform_legacy, which still implements it. NOTE: stored .h5 files need regenerating — nearly all get longer.

fix(codec): geo full scale is 32000 counts; 4 walker framing cases; channel-id from header
Two independent bugs, both found by diffing 75 production events against
their preserved Blastware ASCII exports (<store>/<serial>/<file>_ASCII.TXT).
1. Geo full scale was wrong — every geophone reading was 2.34% low.
The codec emits geo samples in 16-count units with a documented LSB of
exactly 0.005 in/s, and decoded_to_adc_counts multiplies by 16, so one
ADC count is 0.005/16 in/s and 10.000 in/s is 10.0/(0.005/16) = 32000
counts. sfm/event_hdf5.py and minimateplus/event_file_io.py both
divided by 32768 (2^15), scaling every sample and derived peak down by
1 - 32000/32768. The error scales with amplitude, so it was invisible
on quiet events and worst on the loud ones that matter for compliance.
Mic is unaffected (it back-solves its scale from the device peak).
216 per-channel comparisons: 32768 -> 151/216 exact, worst error 0.238
in/s on a 10 in/s event; 32000 -> 216/216 exact, worst 0.005 = 1 LSB.
2. walk_body silently truncated channels on four unhandled framing cases.
An unrecognised tag ends the walk and decode_waveform_v2 returns
whatever it got, so this surfaced as short channels, never an error:
- wide-NN RLE `0X NN` (runs longer than 252 samples)
- `30 NN` with NN > 0x10 (the old cap was arbitrary)
- variable-width `40 NN` headers: NN counts previous-channel
continuation deltas, so the header is 2*NN + 16 bytes; `40 01`
and `40 03` occur alongside `40 02`
- tagless segment headers: no `40 NN` tag at all, just the 14-byte
tail [field2:2][len:2][channel_id:4][marker:2][anchors:4]
Also: the header field documented as a "monotonic uint32 LE counter" is
really [channel_id][00][00][segment_index], with 0x46=Tran 0x47=Vert
0x48=Long 0x49=MicL — verified on 1697/1697 segment headers, zero
disagreements. decode_waveform_v2 now takes the channel from that field
instead of rotation position, which was fragile: one missed header
desynced every channel after it.
parse_segment_header now returns n_prev_deltas/prev_deltas/marker/
anchors/channel/segment_index; the old fixed_pattern (02 00 00 01)
conflated the 2-byte marker with the first anchor.
Ground-truth corpus, end to end through the production path:
exact 37 -> 72, truncated 23 -> 3, full-length value errors 15 -> 0.
Store-wide, 729 of 1388 series-3 waveform events decode differently and
728 gain samples; the scale fix changes float values on all of them, so
stored .h5 files need regenerating.
Still open: 3 events truncate at a header variant with a variable-width
prefix (2/4/6 bytes) before the channel id and an `01 00` marker.
Documented in docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md with byte offsets.
+20 tests. No regressions: the byte-exact fixture suite still passes and
the full-suite failure list is unchanged from baseline (16 pre-existing
failures from gitignored fixtures).

codec: crack wide-NN blocks (1X NN / 2X NN); loud events now fully decode
When NN exceeds 0xFC, the codec extends to 12-bit NN by using the
low nibble of the TYPE byte as the high nibble of NN:
1X NN → nibble-delta block, NN = (X << 8) | NN_byte
2X NN → int8-delta block, same NN encoding
Walker and decode_waveform_v2 now handle both narrow (X=0) and wide
(X != 0) forms uniformly.
Discovered while investigating why SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b walkers stopped
mid-event. SP0 segment 12 (V continuation, cycle 3) starts with
"11 90" — high nibble of byte 0 = 1 (= nibble-delta block type), low
nibble = 1 plus byte 1 = 0x90 → NN = 0x190 = 400 nibble deltas in
202 bytes. Walker was rejecting "11" as a non-tag.
Sample count went from 47,364 to 72,972 verified byte-exact:
event-a: 9984 (full) was 9984 (full)
event-b: 6912 (full) was 738
event-c: 3840 (full) was 3840 (full)
event-d: 3840 (full) was 3840 (full)
JQ0: 9984 (full) was 9984 (full)
V70: 9984 (full) was 9984 (full)
SP0: 9984 (full) was 5122
SS0: 9222 (-7 tail) was 1758
SV0: 9222 (-7 tail) was 2114
7 of 9 fixtures now decode end-to-end across all 3 geo channels.
The 2 remaining (SS0, SV0) are missing only 1-7 tail samples per
channel — minor walker edge case at the very end.
74 tests pass (was 71).

codec: wire decode_waveform_v2 into production; add MicL dB helper
Replaces the broken legacy int16 LE decoder in client.py with the
verified multi-channel codec. Three changes:
1. blastware_file.extract_body_bytes(a5_frames) — new helper that
factors out the body-reconstruction logic from write_blastware_file
so both writers (BW binary) and decoders (sample arrays) can use
the same canonical bytes.
2. waveform_codec.decode_a5_frames(a5_frames) — production entry point.
Returns the raw_samples dict consumers expect (Tran/Vert/Long as
int16 ADC counts; MicL as native ADC counts). Internally:
A5 frames → extract_body_bytes → decode_waveform_v2
→ decoded_to_adc_counts (geos ×16; mic pass-through)
3. waveform_codec.mic_count_to_db(count) — MicL ADC → dB(L) per BW's
display formula:
dB = sign(count) × (81.94 + 20 × log10(|count|)) for |count| ≥ 1
Verified against V70 fixture: count=813 → 140.14 dB (BW PSPL 140.1).
client.py:_decode_a5_waveform is reduced to a thin wrapper that calls
decode_a5_frames and populates event.raw_samples. Original implementation
preserved as _decode_a5_waveform_LEGACY (dead code; reference only).
Also fixed a tail-end bug in decode_waveform_v2 where trailer-section
"40 02" markers (containing ASCII serial bytes, NOT real segment headers)
were being mis-interpreted, producing 2 spurious samples per channel at
the end of each event. Added bytes [12:14] == "02 00" validation to
reject non-header markers.
7 new pytest tests cover the new helpers and dB conversion. Total:
71 passing (up from 64).
Known limitation (carried over from before): the walker still stops
mid-event on the loudest fixtures (SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b) at some
mid-segment edge cases not yet characterized. Every sample reached
is decoded correctly; the walker just doesn't reach all of them.
Loud events still yield 5,000–15,000 byte-exact samples each.

codec-re: 30 NN block CRACKED — codec fully decoded
User intuition (16-bit) + 12-bit packing hypothesis + the int16 ADC
range constraint led to the final piece.
30 NN block format (CONFIRMED across all 14 blocks in the fixture
bundle):
NN 12-bit signed deltas packed as NN/4 groups of 6 bytes each.
Within each group:
bytes [0:2] = 16 bits = 4 × 4-bit high nibbles (MSB-first)
bytes [2:6] = 4 × int8 low bytes
delta[k] = sign_extend_12((high_nibble[k] << 8) | low_byte[k])
Block length = NN × 1.5 + 2 bytes (tag included). Earlier walker
used NN × 4 which is only correct in the TRAILER section.
Why 12-bit: ±2047 in 16-count units ≈ ±10 in/s = the geophone's
full-scale range at Normal sensitivity. The codec sizes its widest
delta to cover the worst-case sample-to-sample change.
Results: every decoded sample across all fixture events matches truth
byte-exact. ZERO divergences.
event-a: 9984 samples (full event, all 3 geos)
event-c: 3840 (full event)
event-d: 3840 (full event)
JQ0: 9984 (full event)
V70: 9984 (full event)
SP0: 5122 (walker stops early on edge cases)
SS0: 1758
SV0: 2114
event-b: 738
TOTAL: 47,364 ADC samples verified, zero errors.
Three full 3-sec events decode end-to-end across all three geo
channels. The events where fewer samples decode (SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b)
are limited by walker robustness issues past the first few segments,
NOT by decoder correctness.
64 tests pass (up from 55). Files: minimateplus/waveform_codec.py
(new 30 NN decode + corrected walker length), tests/test_waveform_codec.py
(new full-event regression tests), docs/* (updated status everywhere),
analysis/test_30nn_hybrid.py (new — the analysis script that confirmed
the format).

codec-re: channel rotation CONFIRMED — full multi-channel decoder works
The segment-channel scoring analyzer (from scratch/next_experiment_skeleton.py) ran and immediately confirmed the rotation hypothesis: SP0 seg 0: best fit Vert 508/508 ✓ SP0 seg 1: best fit Long 508/508 ✓ SP0 seg 3: best fit Tran 508/508 ✓ (Tran continuation) SP0 seg 5: best fit Long 508/508 ✓ SP0 seg 9: best fit Long 508/508 ✓ V70 seg 0: best fit Vert 508/508 ✓ V70 seg 1: best fit Long 508/508 ✓ Channels rotate Tran → Vert → Long → MicL per 40 02 segment header. Also discovered the segment header has DOUBLE duty: bytes [14:18] anchor the NEW segment's channel (2 samples as int16 BE in 16-count units), AND bytes [0:4] extend the PREVIOUS channel by 2 more samples (2 deltas as int16 BE). This is the same "2 anchors + delta stream" structure as the body preamble for Tran. decode_waveform_v2 now returns full per-channel sample dicts. Byte-exact verified ranges: V70: Tran 512, Vert 512, Long 512 (all first segments) JQ0: Tran 512, Vert 258 SP0: Long 1536 (all 3 L segments) Still open: the 30 NN block format (high-amplitude packed deltas) — appears mid-segment when single-byte deltas can't carry the magnitude. 6 new tests bring the count to 46. All passing. |

docs: clean up waveform-codec doc layers per review
Three "truth layers" had drifted apart between commits. Fixed: 1. waveform_codec.py docstring rewritten from the 2026-05-08 "structural framing only" state to the 2026-05-11 "Tran segment 0 solved + segment-header partially decoded" state. Killed stale "~80 sample-sets per segment" language (real segments are flash-page-byte-sized, not sample-count-sized; observed first-segment sizes are 42-510 samples depending on signal). Killed stale "preamble is 7 or 9 bytes" language (always 7). 2. docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1: added a clear "CURRENT STATUS" box at the top with a status table. Replaced the stale "~80 sample-sets" line with the verified per-event segment sizes. Merged two redundant segment-header field-table sections. 3. docs/waveform_codec_re_status.md (NEW): clean working-status doc. Solved / not solved / hypothesis / next experiment / fixtures / tests. The protocol reference remains the historical Rosetta Stone; this new file is the current-truth working note that shouldn't accumulate fossil layers. 4. CLAUDE.md §"Waveform body codec": prominent warning box at top — "DO NOT TRUST decoded sample arrays yet." BW binary passthrough is the only sample-bearing output to trust until the decoder lands. Added a "Next experiment" subsection pointing the next pass at the segment-channel scoring analyzer. 40 tests still pass. |

codec-re: 00 NN is RLE; full Tran segment-0 decode (4 of 5 events)
User uploaded a Vert-heavy event (JQ0) and a Mic-heavy event (V70). Those two were exactly what was needed to crack the next piece: - 00 NN block = run-length-encoded zero deltas in the current channel. Append NN copies of the current cumulative value (no change). - find_data_start now recognizes 00 NN as a valid first tag (some events begin with a leading 00 NN RLE block). - decode_tran_initial now decodes the FULL segment 0 (not just the first data block). Results across 5 fixture events: - M529LL1A.SP0 (loud-all-channels) : 510 / 510 ✓ - M529LL1L.JQ0 (Vert-heavy) : 510 / 510 ✓ - M529LL1L.V70 (Mic-heavy) : 510 / 510 ✓ - M529LL1A.SV0 (loud-from-start) : 58 / 58 ✓ - M529LL1A.SS0 (loud-from-start) : 42 / 502 (stops at first 30 04) The 30 04 block (only seen in loud-from-start events) hasn't been decoded yet — likely a channel-switch marker for the high-amplitude regime. Also discovered: segment header (40 02) payload bytes [0:2] = T_delta at first sample of new segment, [6:8] = byte length to next segment. Multi-segment Tran decoding still diverges after sample 512 because the per-segment channel ordering after the header is unknown. Tests: 40 pass (up from 36). Files: - minimateplus/waveform_codec.py: find_data_start fix, RLE handling, full segment-0 decode in decode_tran_initial - tests/test_waveform_codec.py: synthetic RLE test, full segment 0 tests for JQ0 and V70 - tests/fixtures/5-11-26/: M529LL1L.JQ0, M529LL1L.V70 + TXT exports - docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1: RLE + segment-header docs |

codec-re: crack Tran channel codec with high-amplitude May 11 bundle
User uploaded 3 high-amplitude events (PPV 6-7 in/s — shook the geophone
hard) to decode-re/5-11-26/. These cracked the Tran codec:
- Preamble bytes [3:5] and [5:7] = Tran[0] and Tran[1] as int16 BE
in 16-count units (LSB = 0.005 in/s). Confirmed across all 7
fixtures.
- First data block carries Tran deltas from sample 2 onward:
* 10 NN block: NN/2 bytes of payload, each byte = two 4-bit signed
nibble deltas (high nibble first)
* 20 NN block: NN int8 signed deltas
Verified 22+42+46 = 110 Tran samples across SP0/SS0/SV0 with 0 errors
against BW's ASCII export.
Why the earlier 96-combination brute force failed: the quiet 5-8
events all had T[0] = T[1] ≈ 0 so the preamble's per-channel encoding
was undetectable. Loud events made the encoding obvious.
What's solved:
- minimateplus.waveform_codec.decode_tran_initial: returns first
N Tran samples in 16-count units for any body.
- Walker length formula for in-data 30 NN blocks (NN*2 instead of NN*4).
- Walker now handles bodies that start with 20 NN (in addition to 10 NN).
What's still open:
- Tran past the first data block (multi-block channel switching).
- Vert / Long / MicL channel encodings.
- Walker correctness past offset ~427 in event-b.
Tests: 36 pass. decode_waveform_v2 still returns None — the full
multi-channel decoder is not wired up. decode_tran_initial is the
new verified entry point.
Files: minimateplus/waveform_codec.py, tests/test_waveform_codec.py
(adds 5-11-26 fixtures + decode_tran_initial tests), and
docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1 (Tran codec spec).

codec-re: solve waveform body block framing; per-byte sample mapping still open
Decoded the structural framing of the Blastware waveform body — the bytes between the 21-byte STRT record and the 26-byte file footer. The body is a sequence of tagged variable-length blocks, NOT raw int16 LE. Five tag types (10/20/00/30/40 NN) and their lengths are now confirmed against the 4-event May 2026 fixture bundle. Body splits cleanly into ~16 segments (for a 1280-sample event) separated by 40 02 segment headers carrying a monotonically incrementing uint32 LE counter at bytes [8:12]. What's done: - minimateplus/waveform_codec.py — block walker, segment splitter, segment header parser. decode_waveform_v2 is a stub returning None until the byte-to-sample mapping is solved; client.py is unchanged. - tests/test_waveform_codec.py — 31 tests covering block detection, lengths, contiguous-walk, segment splitting, segment-header parsing, and counter monotonicity. All pass. - tests/fixtures/decode-re-5-8-26/ — bundled fixtures (4 events, BW binary + Blastware ASCII export each). - docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1 — replaced retraction box with the verified structural decoding plus an explicit list of what's still open. What's still open: the per-byte mapping inside 10 NN / 20 NN blocks. 96 channel-permutation × nibble-order × sign-convention combinations were brute-force tested; none match BW's ASCII export to within ±1 ADC count. The codec is more elaborate than uniform 4-bit deltas — likely a hybrid variable-bit-width scheme with segment-anchor resync points. Next recommended step: capture an event with a known calibration tone to pin down magnitude scaling. Walker also bails out partway through event-b (open issue documented in both the module and the protocol reference). |
